SOCI 1501W Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: White Supremacy
Document Summary
Comment: it is fascinating that the book mentioned whites feeling threatened by blacks on a physical level but never on an intellectual or job experience level. Analysis: although the book state that the percent of the population with this view is declining, i feel that the mentality of white supremacy will never completely vanish. The book also points out the issue of preemptive action against the assumed violence. We see this perfectly exemplified within modern law enforcement and the black lives matter movements across the country. Question: how is racism such a wide spread issue if so many people think we are not discriminatory and we are not racist . Answer: what it comes down to is peoples" desire to believe they are naturally good people.
